English Countryside - Hand Quilted Napping Quilt



I've named this quilt "English Countryside" as it is reminiscent of the English countryside with its patchwork of fields, hedgerows and giant oak trees. At 61in x 61in (or 155cm x 155cm), this napping size quilt, made with 100% cotton fabric in blues and greens, was machine pieced, and hand quilted with a 'square within a square' pattern. The backing is made from a cream spotted fabric, again 100% cotton, and the binding material matches the spotted border.

This quilt is for sale. Further details are posted on my website at http://sites.google.com/site/theknottedthread/test

Price: CAD 300
Plus $25 shipping

Blue and White Churn Dash Queen Size Quilt



My first ever quilt! Solid royal blue and white Kona cotton fabric in a Churn Dash pattern, alternated with a plain white square. This queen-sized quilt is machine pieced, and machine quilted with a simple square pattern.
